I. El Nahual. Nonbeing. Union of opposites. Sea monster before creation. Waters without land. Arise! Unintelligible Father of poser, I like you. I, pure and pretty, am yours. For ever and ever. I have waited forever to be your bride. Now is the day of your Awakening. My sweet womb waves. Already the maidens prepare my retinue. My Lord, I am Queen this very day. Queen this very day. II. Everywhere I look, you aren't ; yet when all ceases, I find you within. Simple beyond what the mind can hold, infinitely smooth and broad, white as a diamond and long as infinity, you are El Nahual, World Serpent, great All-Father outside the Abyss. I am composed in my rapture with you, supreme Serpent of wisdom. I'm tranquil. III. Death and Life are two great lies ; their union unspeakable, True. Their union is one that I share with you. Once, dreams and drama clouded my vision. Even then you haunted me. Sometimes you were a horrifying vision, a shade that devoured all that was known, Enemy. When you were nearby in that guise, blackness descended. I became blind and you, a tower behind me, lifted me up. I became incapacitated, helpless. Ever silent, you held me over a height as if to drop me. Criss cross, applesauce. Spiders crawling up my back. Vampire bites me on the neck. You scared me, Father, for back then, like a prism, I split light from darkness, and though you are Light beyond that which can be seen, you occupy even the blackest Pit. I did not recognize you. Now, at the end of all struggle, thru you I know myself. My Lord, given over to you, I am ecstatic and serene. IV. The grand, central Pyramid is prepared. Floating above the Abyss, it's the invisible cap on the supreme iron Rod, the central axis of the Universe. The Rod outlines depth, even to the centre of the Earth, even to the subculture. 2 crossing rods in heaven make an X near the top, just underneath and parallel to the foursquare floor of the invisible Pyramid, defining length and width in the manifested world. Above those cross pieces, jackal-headed Anubis grips the Rod with his sensitive, hairy hand. Raise the four sabres for the marriage procession in the World Above, one for every one of the methods of our unity! My Lord, without extension, yet you penetrate my core four ways. Here in the Pyramid's grand chamber am I Queen, with all of creation my body underneath my cape of glittering stars. V. Inside my body on Earth, I feel your Presence as a breeze upon my face. Objects are transparent. Cares are insubstantial. Life is incomprehensible and beautiful-a sonnet in motion. Great Nahual, even in the world of the human you subsist, unseen. You're the force and substance of everything. You are that out of which the Creator fashioned Himself-the Great Mystery. You are that which existed before the start and which remain after the end. I am not separate from you-could not be. Yet I am your daughter and Queen Malkuth. 'This is the creation of the world, that the agony of division is as nothing, and the excitement of dissolution all.' Great Father, in ecstasy shall I melt in you. Even as I live, Original Father, shall I melt in you.
